The Fish, Fishing rod and Fishing for Compliment

A Disciple approached an old monk with a doubt, He asked the following question “What is wrong in showcasing my ability?"
The Monk said "Right or wrong depends upon who and why it is Showcased"
The Disciple said "I published my work in my company's Communication portal, for which few of them appreciated it but, one of my colleagues, personally sent a message which stated that "Don't fish for compliments"
The Monk asked "After reading the message, how did you feel?"
The Disciple replied "I felt bad"
The Monk said " The happiness that came from few people's appreciation did not last but one negative remark has put you down"

In life, we don't count our blessings, but we keep multiplying our unhappiness mentally by worrying about few negatives that we encounter.

Let me ask you few questions
Would you like to ask for a fish or a fishing rod?
The Disciple said " I would ask for a fishing rod"
The Monk asked "Would you like to build your fishing rod or will you ask for a fishing rod?"
The Disciple said "I would like to build my fishing rod"
The Monk asked " aren't the abilities you showcased, is your own fishing rod?"
The Disciple said "Yes"
The Monk said, it is better to prove your ability, than to accept the fish or seek a Fishing rod.
In this competitive world your presence should be felt and your ability should be experienced.
It is better to go with a fishing rod in the hand than a bowl.
If the pond is not lucrative, there is no point in changing the fishing rod, change the pond

Being Jaby is being a fine human being.

  Being Jaby is being a fine human being.   L&D Global Chennai Chapter was instrumental in bringing Jaby closer to my heart, our journey was not too long, but it was filled with fun, humour, joy and learning too. When Jaby was present, dullness was absent. He filled the hall with his sense of humour, and his thoughts were deep-rooted in bringing the best out of every human. Jaby was the most admired person in any forum; when Jaby picked the mic, the audience pulled themselves to the edge of the chair. Jaby was casual in his appearance, but he was a thorough professional everywhere. During COVID, if there was one person whom I counted on to help people, it was Jaby; his car was filled with masks, sanitizer and an oxygen concentrator. His social bent of mind made him a good Samaritan. Jaby was a curious child, whenever we both met, he was curious to improve his skills and knowledge, and his quest for development was limitless. Jaby and I collaborated in the year ...
